How to Secure a Fair Yield of Vegetables
Sown from Seed.

How to Secure a Fair Yield of Vegetables
Sown from Seed.
In the case of almost all crops soWn
from seed where they are to stand, as
beets, carrots, parSnips and turnip5.
many more plants come up than can
perfect themselves if left to struggle on
alone. just as soon as all danger of
insect enemies has disappeared, the
careful cultivator will begin thinning
out This is done by hand or with IL
hoe. An expert with the latter imple
ment, in large-field culture. can strike
the plant which he desires to remove
almost unerringly with the corner OF
his hoe, leaving those which remain at
equal distances apart. Those not quite
so dexterous, must have recourse to
hand thinning. Whichever way is used,
it is fatal to leave the work until the
plants are crOwding each other Any
of the crops named above should stand
finally not less than nine inches to a
foot apart. Young beets and carrots
can both be used. hence may be left
thick at first, to be thinned as wanted
for the table. Onions may be left closer
together than any other crop we know
of. If the plants are two or three
inches apart in the double OF triple
rows. and the soil is rich, the onions
will spread over and crowd each other
into one solid mass. Peas can easily
be injured by sowing too thicklyi
double rows three inches apart, alter
mated, is plenty thick enough for them.
Plans that are transplantcd. as the
cabbage. caulfower and the like. do
not suffer so much by overcrowding.
Annual flower seeds sown in the open
ground where they are expected to
flower are vastly benefited by giving
each plant plenty of room in proper
ton to the nature of its growth. This
is so true that if left very thick as they
usually come up, and allowed to strug-
gle against each other as the wild
weeds, the strongest manage to get
high enough to flower, perfect their
seed, and finally die of starvation. The
same kinds of plants with abundance
of room, will on the contrary, continue
TO flower perhaps all through lhe sum
